I love this vitamin c serum. Its a cross between a milky serum and a milky moisturiser. A pleasure to use. Nice subtle smell and layers well.
Only been using for a few days but love the way my.skin looks and feels after use
Sadly this has done absolutely nothing for my skin- this is the first medik8 item that has not given me any results so over priced too
